December’s meeting was a special event to raise money for the branch operating fund. “It’s a Party” was a fun-filled time, with entertainment, a delicious lunch and opportunities to bid on exciting items offered. Mimosas and wine helped to make the occasion even more festive as did the lovely table decorations and humorous games and opportunities to win cash prizes. City Voices, an a capella singing group, provided fine entertainment at the lunch break. “Elegant Edibles” featured traditional cakes and international treats created by members. The Boutique offered original handmade artistic creations of all kinds. “Lets Make a Deal” gave attendees the opportunity to bid on a great variety of items contributed by local merchants: gift certificates of all kinds, 2 wine tastings and day trips. Members offered a vacation at a condo, tea parties, beautiful themed baskets, handmade stuffed animals with accompanying story books for children, and an heirloom afghan. The fundraising goal was attained and attendees had a fine time!
